'smm' means turn on the meta key if this terminal has one.
Explicitly set meta key off to avoid probable escape sequence output
while gnu readline library initialization.
I am still not sure about this change, there was some discussion that
the readline library would do be making a similar change and we should
back port that change. I contacted the readline maintainer to find out
about that.
I am going to hold off until I hear from him.
Sau!
